Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy::Twitch has rolled back the artistic nudity portion of its sexual policy that allowed previously prohibited forms of sexual content.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mere days after Twitch updated its content policy to permit certain kinds of sexual content, the platform has withdrawn the portion of the policy permitting “artistic nudity.”
“Effective today, we are rolling back the artistic nudity changes,” the update read.
“Moving forward, depictions of real or fictional nudity won’t be allowed on Twitch, regardless of the medium.” Mature-rated games will not be affected by the rollback and subject to the new policy.
Today however, Twitch said it is withdrawing specifically the part of the content policy that allowed “artistic nudity.”
The specific callout of AI seems to be related to the concern that the new artistic nudity policy might enable artists and other streamers to create and display AI-generated “deepfakes” passed off as permitted art.
Twitch’s initial update recognized the artist community on the platform and how previous sexual content policies were “overly punitive.” However, after the changes, it seemed like some streamers took advantage of the new policy to contravene that spirit with activities like using fully nude avatars or stream overlays featuring nude drawings.
